This is why people should never represent themselves in court. They watch a couple of episodes of Matlock and think they know something...
Sorry, but if you mean me I have represented myself in court 2 times in my life and defeated the plaintiffs twice and received a nice sum of money for doing so. They were business related cases inwhich I defeated a high paid Columbus Oh attorney who later asked me what law background I had.
I am 2-0 in a court, defeating two high powered law firms in the way.

Nice paychecks also.
In what, small claims court? LOL
Interesting to learn that you've gotten sued a couple of times.
From what I have read on this thread from you, I don't believe a word of what you wrote above. Not one word.
What was her purpose for being there? Afterall she was not a local person and just happened to be in the area?
How do you know what she was up to?
According to the interview I saw with her shortly after this happened she was there to film a scene for a satiricle movie that she was filming. Her whole purpose was to get a shot of her, Paul, and her sign for the movie. She had been to several of his rallies and while not a supporter, was not a threat. The supporters recognized her and stopped her from getting her desired shot filmed. The security assigned to the rally was not worried about her like many others that were not supportive of Paul.
The dude that had her under foot was a bully and should be ashamed of himself. While we can all have differing opinions, how we respond to others is what matters. They should have kept their hands and feet off of her. They acted like pigs.
Intent is an essential element of both offenses. Generally, it is only necessary for the defendant to have an intent to do the act that causes the harm. In other words, the act must be done voluntarily. Although an intent to harm the victim is likely to exist, it is not a required element of either offense. There is an exception to this rule for the attempted battery type of criminal assault. If a defendant who commits this crime does not have an intent to harm the victim, the individual cannot be guilty of the offense.
The question comes down to, did they INTEND to assault the girl? The video appears that they intended to restrain her until the police came.. They were clearly yelling for someone to get the police.

Good for you. I assume these were civil cases. Criminal law is something different altogether.
The judge simply cannot look at her background and decide that she deserved the attack, but she or he can determine whether restraint was in order--and can do so largely based on her background.
But not the attack itself.
